*These conferences don't record sessions (or at least don't release them publicly), and I didn't either.
⁺These conferences recorded, but haven't yet released it.
Also, I was one of the co-organizers of TDDConf{:rel="nofollow" target="_new"} 2021, the very first international test-driven development conference, and appeared briefly on-screen to introduce speakers and fill time. I was also the sole organizer of Ruby DAYCamp (no website) 2013, a semi-impromptu "overflow" event for those who applied too late for Ruby DCamp (defunct, site gone).
